In Situ-Solidification | Remediation at Mac Point

Audit Area 6 - in the south-west corner of the site (the old cold store site), was added to the precinct in 2015 and required the remediation of subsurface coal tar. Physical works commenced in early 2024, which saw around 12,000m3 in contaminated material removed from the site, with a further 1,400m3 of tar-impacted material being treated in-situ.
There is also a small section of land (Audit Area 4 East) where a historic diesel pipeline will need to be removed as well as some buried asbestos. This work is anticipated to be completed as part of the installation of the Northern Access Road.
